“Truly extraordinary, perhaps the most remarkable I’ve ever seen in my life.”
Xue Jing was still in his patched robe, stroking his long beard, his eyes flickering.
He was not surprised by Ying Bing’s Top-Grade Bone.
“Is this the promising talent you mentioned encountering when you descended the mountain?”
Not far away, a lazy voice sounded.
The woman, dressed in palace attire, had flushed cheeks and leaned languidly on a chair.
“It’s her, but I don’t know what level she’ll reach on the Ascension Stone Steps.”
Xue Jing glanced at the woman, his eyes revealing helplessness.
“I like this Miss Ying.”
The palace-dressed woman took a big gulp of wine.
The Elders: “......”
Are you sure you’re not just looking at how beautiful the young Miss Ying is?
“She’s not suited for your branch of martial arts.”
Xue Jing said helplessly.
“Why isn’t she suited?!” The palace-dressed woman’s eyebrows shot up.
“Why are you interfering? You’ve trained yourself to be like a furnace; this woman clearly shouldn’t become your Disciple.”
A slightly cold and stern voice spoke.
“Han He, do you want to fight?”
The palace-dressed woman clenched her fists, looking quite eager for a challenge.
Elder Han He instinctively took half a step back, snorting coldly with apprehension.
“Everyone, calm down.”
The voice was full of authority.
Only when the Sect Master spoke did the palace-dressed woman reluctantly pick up her wine gourd and take two more sips.
The Elders exchanged glances.
Could it be that the Sect Master was interested in that young Miss Ying?
......
Unconsciously, another stick of incense passed.
About five hundred people had undergone the bone examination during that time.
Finally, it was Li Mo’s turn.
The old woman grabbed his shoulder, and he immediately felt a surge of Inner Breath rush in, preparing to circulate through his meridians.
But very quickly, this Inner Breath disappeared.
Hmm?
The old woman opposite him frowned for the second time.
Inner Breath can stimulate a person’s internal organs, and even their meridians and bone structure.
The better the bone structure, the stronger the reaction to this stimulation.
But.
The young man’s body showed no reaction at all.
That alone would have been fine, but her Inner Breath disappeared as if a clay ox had entered the sea.
If she hadn't seen the young man standing alive before her, she would have thought he was a rock.
The old woman hesitated for a moment, then still noted down his name:
“Li Mo, Grade C, you may pass.”
“Thank you.”
Li Mo had already expected this, and cupped his hands to the old woman.
He then passed through the mountain gate with a calm expression.
“Oh no, Grade C, Dad’s going to be unhappy.”
“When the time comes, you’ll have to speak up for me; your words carry weight with Dad.”
Li Mo laughed heartily, bumping the shoulder of the young ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ woman beside him.
Ying Bing was slightly surprised.
Grade C Aptitude, not much different from what she remembered.
But he didn’t seem disappointed.
Li Mo looked indifferent, still cheerful:
“Three parts destined by Heaven, seven parts Depend on hard work.”
“Many people can’t even enter the mountain gate; I’m already very lucky.”
There was another sentence he didn’t say.
Why panic? I have a cheat.
Ying Bing saw that the young man’s carefree attitude didn’t seem feigned.
So be it.
At least his bottle of Pure Yang Pill helped her open her meridians early, saving her half a year’s time.
This Heart-Nature is worth giving a little push; how far he can go depends on him personally.
Just then.
Not far away, a report from an Executive once again drew everyone’s attention:
“Wang Hu, Tiger Arm Leopard Waist, Grade B Middle!”
The crowd couldn’t help but burst into an uproar.
Aside from the two Grade A Prodigies.
Wang Hu was already the most talented!
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was one in ten thousand.
Enjoying the flattery of the people around him, Wang Hu smiled arrogantly and confidently, even casting a glance towards the crowd.
“What are you looking at?”
Li Mo fell into deep thought.
......
At this moment. frёewebnoѵēl.com
A figure landed in front of the mountain gate.
“Tiger-Leopard Form?”
The middle-aged man, built like an iron tower, reached out and grabbed Wang Hu’s shoulder.
Wang Hu’s heart jolted, but then he saw his cousin emerge from among the Disciples and give him a knowing look.
“Not bad, it really is Tiger Arm Leopard Waist.”
The iron-tower-like middle-aged man smiled with satisfaction.
“Master, this is my cousin.” Wang Hao bowed respectfully.
“Excellent, excellent. He is more suited than you to practice my Tiger-Leopard Thunder Palm.”
His laughter boomed, making people’s eardrums ache.
“Fu Tu, wait until he enters the Inner Sect before you take him as a Disciple; it’s not too late.”
The short, stout Elder frowned in reminder.
Fu Tu?
Wang Hu was stunned for a moment, then ecstatic.
This was a very powerful Inner Sect Executive; if it weren't for the fact that Elder positions were one per person, he would have already taken charge of a peak.
“Hehehe, I know the rules.”
Fu Tu cupped his hands indifferently.
At his cousin’s signal, Wang Hu quickly bowed:
“Greetings, Master.”
“You should first pass the Ascension Stone Steps.”
Fu Tu did not correct the address.
After Fu Tu left.
Wang Hu held his head even higher, almost writing ‘arrogant’ on his forehead.
After passing through the mountain gate, he walked straight over, confidently cupping his fists:
“Miss Ying, we are now fellow Disciples.”
And then received a dismissive glance.
This level of Aptitude was only considered acceptable in a small place like Ziyang Prefecture.
In Ying Bing’s eyes, Wang Hu’s Grade B and Li Mo’s Grade C had no essential difference.
They were both unpolished stones; why bother distinguishing which one was smoother?
Wang Hu was left standing there, his face flushing red.
He could only look at Li Mo again:
“Heh heh, we’re from the same hometown. When I rise to prominence, how could I forget you?”
“No, the Inner Sect and Outer Sect are different; it might not be easy for me to come down.”
“And perhaps, in a few more days, I might become a True Disciple.”
“Meeting you might not be as convenient as meeting Miss Ying, right?”
His smile was quite malicious.
Having an Inner Sect Executive as a backer.
Young and arrogant, Wang Hu’s ego inflated so much he felt like he could float to the sky.
Several young men and women who were also from Ning’an County all looked resentful but couldn’t act on it. Wang Hu was already arrogant enough in the county, and now he had taken a giant leap forward.
They originally didn’t have a good impression of Li Mo, but now, compared to Wang Hu, they actually found the former a bit endearing.
“....Ah, yes, yes, yes.”
Li Mo’s Tianming Divine Eye had never been closed.
Ever since Wang Hu’s bone examination, the originally green Tianming had begun to show a trace of black.
When he was just showing off, the black deepened a bit more.
Even the evaluation changed to: “Arrogant and self-righteous, unknowingly being used as a test subject by Inner Sect Executive Fu Tu; his future is bleak.”
He didn’t like to argue with idiots, and he was even less bothered to argue with someone who was half-dead.
It was another dismissive glance.
“You!”
Wang Hu choked on his breath, an unnameable surge of anger rising in his heart.
However, the short, stout Elder seemed to have noticed this side.
He withdrew his gaze from Li Mo and Ying Bing, sneering inwardly:
“There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
“Anyway, there’s a world of difference between the Outer Sect and True Disciples; they won’t be able to stay together.”
